Hm. .. I ignored that HTML tags could be injected too.

Enclosing line numbers in a span which is hidden by a onselect JS handler could be a solution for unintended selection.

Unfortunately no time for a prove of concept now.

FWIW, the source view in metacpan is pretty neat, no selection of line numbers and syntax highlighting.

Couldn't check yet how highlighting is implemented. ¹
